Yes it's the flat four, but mine doesn't have the stamp. It's an ISP west adapter, flat 4's is ugly, to big of a gap between wheel and adapter. Yes it's regatta blue

Well, today at 8:30 this morning, Becca had her appointment to take her driving test at the DMV. Everything was going as planned right up until the test person said " go ahead and start the car and we can begin the test." Wouldn't you know it, the battery in my truck decided it was done, no warning, nothing. UNFUCKINGBELEIVABLE!!!!!!! Needless to say she was crushed, asked if we could come back after I got a new battery, they said make a new appointment, in 2 weeks, not their fault I understand, but show a little sympathy Angry

That does suck. Make sure that Becca is very familiar with the area around the DMV and also where all the switches etc. are in your truck. Allison got dinged for not being able to find the emergency flashers and the headlight switch and for some small violations for not knowing the roads where she was at. No one thing was enough to fail her but the total was. She never had a chance to use the headlight switch 'cuz the car had auto headlights... they just came on when it was dark.
